I live in Clarksville, 40 miles NW of Nashville. If you are that desperate, you can repond in this thread. I should be up until 4am.
I can meet you at the local Walmart if you want... but I warn you, they have a cop on duty if you are some sort of luny

Heh, thanks. Better hurry up though, I'm on my 3rd beer. I won't go driving once I've finished this one.

I have not seen my 6-line wrasse through all this even when we turned the lights on, in the morning he usually comes out right away with lights, hoping he is ok, I assume they are pretty tough. My others are my fav pair of gorgeous maroon clowns....I know they are tough, worried about my little guy, he was disoriented...bumped into side of tank and was acting nuts, he is not in his usual sleep spot but has calmed down some and not bumping into things now. just had my water tested today....at lfs...
salinity was 1.024
ph was 8.0 (he said to add some buffer so I let some melt into my water that I was topping off with this afternoon.
ammonia and everything else was 0
calcium a bit too high
This has to be the ph thing, and now alk is low.....never ever had that happen since cycling. Gonna chat with them tomorrow! Learned my lesson to not have saltwater in the house!!

I'm sorta relieved that your husband won't let you drive down here, I'm starting to feel my alcohol and I really didn't want to leave the house, hehe.....anyways
I'm sure your tank will be fine until the morning. If you are ever in town, please check out my lfs! It is called Pet Palace and it is located on 41A. I can give you the phone number if you are seriously interested. So far they have matched every price I have brought in and they even welcome trades!
They even knocked off $100 from the price of my lights when I first started the hobby. It seems like the more I shop there, the better they treat me. I think I'm as little tipsy and yacking too much, signing off for the night lol.

7am this morning and my fish look ok so far, I am very very tired from lack of sleep but less stressed as they hopefully are also. did not realize how attached...if I could pet these guys I would!!
The worst was my little guy he was like a little lunatic...float to bottom, then swim erratic and bump into the walls of the tank, was so stressful to watch. I think she was nuts also because she was worried about him, my mated pair are very close.
counting the minutes to run and get some new water. we just did a water change on sunday and I am going to do another now to get things back to- normal.
Keep the prayers going for all my guys. My 6-line peeked out today and has also looks fine at the moment, starfish looks just fine also and was probably the most active last night ever, was like everyone was on crazy steroids last night.
will report later my parameters once I get new readings from my lfs. want to make sure I post a thread later of this event to help protect others.....
